False Positives?

I called my brother this weekend to announce our good news.  He then told me his GF had a false positive last week.

She had "mysterious discharge" (turned out to be dark brown discharge).  So she googled.  After what she read she POS.  It was positive.  Within 3 hours she went to Planned Parenthood and tested there.  It was negative and they told her there was no way she was pregnant - that her HPT was a false positive.

She is still not feeling "quite right" according to him.

I told him he better go get a 2nd opinion or another HPT.  It is not very often one gets a false positive and I explained to him what I know about brown discharge etc.

Has anyone here ever had or know anyone who really had a false positive?

  • She needs to POAS again, just to make sure.

  • I am not sure - I can only assume it was the dollar store brand knowing them.  I think those are pink dye.  I will ask them.  Thanks!

  • Did they do a blood test at PP? If not she should take another HPT. With DS I got a +HPT on Sunday, a negative pee test at the doctor on Monday after noon and a +HPT on Tuesday. As you can see from my ticker, he's here and I was really pregnant. Also pp is right about blue dye vs. pink dye, so make sure they pick up the pink dye this time.

  • Three months ago I was having some pregnancy symptoms very similar to the ones when I was pregnant with my two DDs . I took a HPT and got a very faint line but one later that day and the next day were negative. I figured it was a false positive but when I spoke to my OB he said it could have been a chemical pregnancy. Basically a very early miscarriage. I ended up getting AF about 2 weeks late. Could be whats going on with your bros gf.

  • There's nothing wrong with blue dye tests, it's a bunch of hype and paranoia on these BB's. 

    Pink dye have just as many issues.....
